On the craggy cliffs of Jamaica’s western shore, an out-of-body experience.

sliding away from the Knowing,
release of muscle and bone, shaking off past and pain
flight of heart and mind, salt dissolving the no longer.

Pitching forward
breathing in brine and breeze
lulled by the sleep of forever …
but for that touch from nature’s hand
observing from just behind.

Turning away shoulder from the tide, the edge of night
pressing closely, pushing inward to the Truth of the Root
casting away of wicked thought, filling of well with water

urgent now,
revealing the case for holding on
in the glow of light and love.
